Oak Ridge Family Focus
September 8th Edition
iReady Testing: Complete
Now that iReady testing has been completed for our students, we wanted to say thank you for ensuring your children were at school, well rested, and ready to do their best! They all worked extremely hard, and we are excited to see their progress. Our next step is to gather the information and share each student's progress with our families. We are working diligently to get that information to you as quickly as possible.
Absent or Tardy?
If your child will be absent or tardy, we have a 24 hour attendance line set up for your convenience. Please call 708-598-5743 to leave your message before 8:30am. It is best to leave a message on the attendance line rather than call the front office since they are assisting students and families in the building. Thank you for your help!
Have a wonderful week and go Mustangs!
Kevin Buscemi, principal
Jennifer Stefan, assistant principal

What if my child is sick? Please read the recommendations for keeping your child home due to being sick. If you're child will be absent from school, please call the attendance line at 708-598-5743. The phone line is available 24 hours a day to report any upcoming absence. | Morning Drop Off ProceduresMorning Drop Off Morning Drop Off is 8:15 - 8:25am since staff and students need to be in class by 8:30am. Starting at 8:30am and later, students need to be dropped off in the front of school and signed in at the main office. Thank you for your help! | Reading 20 minutes a day will go a long way! It is important that students get 20 minutes of quiet time to read (anything they would like!) at home every day. It can be shared reading with a parent or sibling, or the whole family sits down and reads their own book or magazine at the same time. Please see the infographic above to see how reading 20 minutes each day really adds up for our kids! |
